Thanks for confirming the change in behavior for '22 models. On my '21, the engine will not shut down until the truck has completely stopped moving. It was the same with the '20 I had before.
It doesn’t shut down till you have been at zero miles per hour for a few seconds
I picked the V6 etorque for gas mileage, what they tell you in sales it’s not reality. I should be getting 19/22/24 if I am so extremely careful I might be able to get close to 18 on any road. Service department simply tells me that you can’t go by the sticker mileage. I’m hearing people with the V-8 hemi getting better gas mileage. I would suggest talking to lots of people with a new truck and see what they’re getting.
*GASP!* You said that naughty "H" word in front of a Hemi crowd! ;-)
Life is already too short to complain about a 1 second delay. That 1 second "delay" could conceivably save your life from someone running a red light as you pull out. In fact, I never peel off the very second a light turns green. I too have a 2022 eTorque and that "1 second delay" literally saved my life 3 weeks ago as a car plowed through a red light after my light just turned green. He was probably doing 60. That "delay" is more than appropriate.
Having a 1 second delay is more dangerous IMHO. I look to make sure it's clear before hitting the gas pedal. Just because the light is green doesn't mean it's safe to proceed through the intersection. If you're someone who automatically just goes when the light changes to green, then I agree that a delay is appropriate. For me, I would rather have the truck go as soon as I press the gas. Sometimes having fast acceleration can save your life too.
Well said!!
One can actually be ticketed/found at fault if an accident happens by proceeding into/through an intersection even if they have the light turn green. As one buddy found out, that green means proceed if it's safe to do so.
I mean, you could be right. It would be nice if it's as simple as removing the motor/generator and installing an alternator. But I seriously doubt that's the case with this system.
Are you saying the alternator on your eTorque Ram went out or you'd stay away from the eTorque equipped Rams because the alternator on your conventional Ram went out?
Ever notice when DORKS like yourself are losing a discussion they result to name calling.As stated supply your source and you cannot do that plain and simple.Move along nothing to see here little man..Cootie:
Look at the posts following, many would not touch an etorque with a 10 foot pole....
